Linda. Thank you, thank you for this.
I also believed in the concept of connection for readers and writers. Believed it and loved it.
With a snap of the fingers Medium has changed it all. I am beyond upset. Plus their timing really sucks beyond the obvious…2020 has enough sheeeet it in without our rock, our touchstone, our harbor from the internet storm: Medium, pulling a fast one.
Change could be win win for everyone, but this certainly is not.
All that you point out is 100000000% accurate and I care about it all.
Do we need a petition? Oh no. Something else to do…I was so happy reading, connecting, responding and writing.
